Cable Forum - Brexit (Old)

Sneer? Smear? Calm down ...

Raab had a job called the "Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union". The role is sort of obvious really. Anyone who is paid as the "Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union" and isn't in charge of "Exiting the European Union" is a fraud. He is in Cabinet to do a job and is responsible for his portfolio. Period ..

Well there is no word from Michael Gove’s team about where he is as its complete silence. Is he plotting?

I'm perfectly calm and correctly describing your remarks.

And there you go again, calling Raab a "fraud". You know very well what was going on in May's cabinet; she and Robbins steered the Brexit ship from the Engine Room. Raab was given a nominal role and title.

By all means sneer at May and Robbins.

You need to stop this arguing with people with baseless rubbish all the time.

Pay attention - everyone knows, or should do that it was Civil servants working behind the scenes on the Brexit negotiations. Raab was just there to represent the British Government as the top minister for DeXeu.

You really do need to get a grip on reality. Raab was the cabinet minister *responsible* for the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union. As such, he signs off any deal. If he didn't, he's an idiot. If he did, he's a fraud. Maybe he is both ..

Re: Brexit

This is from the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg.

Quote:

I've just been speaking to Dominic Raab - he told the Chief Whip at end of Cabinet he was quitting, tells me the deal won't get through Parliament, and the EU have been 'blackmailing' us - interview on @bbcnews soon

And David Mundell The Scotland secretary gives us his view on Raab.

Quote:

The Scotland secretary, David Mundell, had a brutal response to Dominic Raab’s resignation, saying he though the Brexit secretary had mainly quit to further his own ambitions.

“I’m not taking lessons on standing up for our United Kingdom from carpetbaggers,” Mundell told ITV.

Re: Brexit

Suggestion from Commons sources that that May will stay in the House after the statement and see Graham Brady at 1.30pm.

It seems 48 letters have been received - the threshold needed for a vote of no confidence to go ahead.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 10:25.
